ArcGIS mapping for SharePoint install issue

NandiniNarvekar — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:31:07 GMT

I am trying to install the ArcGIS mapping for SharePoint on a server that has SharePoint 2010 installed. When I try to run the install for ArcGIS mapping for SharePoint on the server - the system check fails with a message "SharePoint Foundation Services 2010 is not installed". I do not have SharePoint foundation. But I have SharePoint 2010 enterprise installed and it is working fine. Appreciate help in getting this installed, so I can evaluate the ArcGIS mapping for SharePoint.

I am having the sample problem. Using Sharepoint Server 2010 (Enterprise) and getting error that "Sharepoint Foundation Server 2010 is NOT installed!" Any resolution yet?

SharePoint Server (Enterprise and Standard) includes the same services as SharePoint Foundation, plus additional edition-specific services. Since the product works on all SharePoint 2010 editions, the check is just looking for the Foundation services.

The installer checks the registry as part of this step - do you have permission to access the registry? You can do a quick check of this by going to Start --> Run --> regedit. If the Registry Editor does not open or you cannot browse keys in the registry, then you do not have the required permissions to install the product. You will either need an administrator to grant you permissions or have an administrator run the install.

Hope this helps.

I am also having this issue with the version of sharepoint which comes with MS Small Business Server 2011 (SHarepoint 2010 is listed in services). I can edit the registry. Any further suggestions?

Hi All, FYI...be careful...

We have heard back from Redlands, and it turns out this issue is due to a known bug. The bug ID is NIM066657, with synopsis as follows: The system check window shows the error "Sharepoint Foundation Services 2010 is not Installed" when installing ESRI sharepoint Web part 2.0. Note that your case has been added to the bug report, and the bug severity is set to high.

While the issue has not yet been resolved, the suggested workaround is to perform the install using the SharePoint command line admin tool, stsadm. The command line for this would be as follows:

stsadm -o addsolution -filename <correct-path-to>/ESRI.ArcGIS.Mapping.SharePoint.wsp

I am trying to install the ArcGIS mapping for SharePoint on a server that has SharePoint 2010 installed.

I do not have SharePoint foundation. But I have SharePoint 2010 enterprise installed and it is working fine. Appreciate help in getting this installed, so I can evaluate the ArcGIS mapping for SharePoint.

I just went through this again with 2.1 beta, and was able to find an easy workaround. It turns out the installer does a registry check for Sharepoint, but it doesn't do it very intelligently. It recurses HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Extensions\ and checks to see if the key "12.0" (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0) exists. If this key exists, it looks for some other sharepoint related keys under this key. If it doesn't find them, it throws the "Sharepoint Foundation Services 2010 is not installed" error. If the "12.0" key doesn't exist, it checks for a "14.0" key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0) and checks for sharepoint info there.

On my server, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0 there was a key for "Search", which I'm guessing came from either the Microsoft Filter Pack(wild guess) or Microsoft Sync Framework.

So the fix, I just used regedit to export the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0, ran the installer(which then succeeded), then double clicked the exported .reg file to bring back in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0 key.
